Grace Vineyard Christian Fellowship

Beloved Ones, I have called you for this purpose, to make you ministers and witnesses both of the things which you have seen and of the things which I will yet reveal to you.  There are things which I will deliver you from and those to whom I will send you, to open their eyes in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified (set apart) by faith in me.  You have been appointed priests (ministering servants, representatives, and senior officers) in My Kingdom.

You are priests who are called from a new order, not according to the law of a fleshly commandment, but ACCORDING TO THE POWER OF AN ENDLESS LIFE!  The law is weak and unprofitable, but an eternal life that is powered by the Holy Spirit perfects and completes everything.  You came into the priesthood through Jesus Christ and so you are of the same order as Jesus Christ who arose from the tribe of Judah .  Judah means "praise" so your ministry will arise from praise just as Christ's did.  Let your praise go before you and prepare the way for the bringing of a better hope.  Draw near to Me and nourish yourselves in the words of faith and good doctrine so that you may carefully follow the way of life and instruct others in these things...so that you will be good ministers of Jesus Christ.  Speak as the utterances of God.  Minister as with the ability which I supply, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. 

I AM the God who makes My ministering servants a flame of fire.  Come into My Presence and let your praise fan the flames of love so that you will display faith working through love.  Bring your offering to the altar for I AM the God who answers by fire!
